Wow!  What a climb.  I was up and hiking before the sun was even up.  It was cold – near freezing. As soon as the sun came up, I started shedding clothes layers.  As mentioned in yesterday’s post, the trail was going up 4,600 feet over 7 miles to over 8,000 feet in elevation.  It was a tough climb – even tougher than going up the Grand Canyon.  I made it to the top at 12:30 PM.

I stopped briefly at Manning Camp for water and then continued on to the Grass Shack Campground.  I’m camped at Grass Shack now.  Nothing more of note happened except a lot of huffing and puffing.
